Meet our newest interns, Rianna and Liliana! Coming to us from as far away as England and Germany, interns at ITA move our mission forward by supporting and managing important projects while also assisting therapists in their work with clients. In addition to our administrative internships, ITA also offers writing and accounting internships that are specifically designed for students or recent graduates who are interested in learning more about non-profit administration and applying their talents to projects at ITA.
